Ministerial helicopter flights 2005 to 2009

Helicopter flights taken by Ministers, including flight time, estimated cost, minister name, route (in some cases) and diary entry for that day (where available). Bertie Ahern was the biggest user – he got around.

From early 2005 to late 2009, about €383,243.31 was spent ferrying ministers around by helicopter alone. This excludes the cost of ministerial cars, which would often be involved at some level in each trip. It also does not include the use of government jets.

This is the approximate breakdown (in a few cases two Ministers traveled together):

its good that we got the info but now need the explanation to go with it to make it useful to people, laborious job to search for it in news/gov pr archives, we can dig through the diaries http://thestory.ie/category/fois/diaries/ i find it useful to use exhibit to do that, need to find a way to put all that info together, I guess thats what journalists like Ken Foxe have done.
